1 – bedroom Apartment – Plac na Groblach 19

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place on Plac na Groblach? The name makes it sound way more formal than it actually is – honestly, when I first heard “Plac na Groblach,” I pictured some stuffy historic square, but it’s actually this lovely residential pocket that feels wonderfully removed from tourist chaos. The apartment itself sits in this beautifully restored building that somehow manages to feel both authentic and properly updated, which is harder to find than you’d think.

The one-bedroom setup is really well thought out – I mean, you can tell someone actually lives in spaces like this rather than just designing them for short stays. The kitchen has everything you’d actually use (good knives, decent coffee maker, enough counter space to spread out), and the bedroom gets these amazing morning light patterns that made me want to linger over coffee way longer than usual. What really sold me was the bathroom though – proper water pressure and heated floors, which sounds small until you’re stumbling around at 6 AM. The whole place has this lived-in quality without feeling worn, if that makes sense.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re experiencing the city rather than just visiting it. Plac na Groblach sits in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to walk to the main attractions (maybe 15 minutes to the old town center), but you’re staying where actual residents live, shop, and hang out. There’s this little bakery two blocks down that does incredible morning pastries – the kind of place where regulars just nod at the counter and get their usual order. Parking can be a bit tricky during weekday mornings when locals are heading to work, but evenings and weekends are totally manageable. The neighborhood gets genuinely quiet after 9 PM, which I loved – you can actually open the windows and hear normal city sounds instead of drunk tourists.

I stayed here during shoulder season and the whole area felt like this wonderful secret. The building’s entrance is understated (look for the small brass numbers), and check-in was refreshingly straightforward – none of that overly complicated lockbox nonsense some places use. What really impressed me was how the space felt properly temperature-controlled without being stuffy, and the Wi-Fi actually worked consistently, which honestly shouldn’t be remarkable but often is. If you’re the type who likes having a proper home base rather than just a place to crash, this hits that sweet spot perfectly.
